Description Tobias C. Berner 2017-10-13 20:26:09 UTC
Created attachment 108338 [details]
Example work around for kmplot.

In kmplot's statusbar the coordinate display is truncated to "x...12 y...34".

It seems to be that the label in the KStatusBar does not have the appropriate with. 

kmplot create the labels intially with a long string "1234567890123456" [1]
however, when looking at the with caluclation in kdelibs4supports setItemFixed() the calculated value for the with is only '82':
   KStatusBar::setItemFixed to w= 82  for text ' "12…56" '.
note that it uses an elided form of the string to set the value. 

When querying fontMetrics in kmplot.cpp and setting the labels permanent with manually works around the issue [see attachment].

Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2017-10-25 19:46:39 UTC
KmPlot should be ported aways from kdelibs4support. I think the bug that you cannot hide the statusbar is related to still using KStatusBar.
Comment 2 Yuri Chornoivan 2018-10-19 11:34:42 UTC
Now, when the porting from kdelibs4support is complete in git/master can you test if the problem is solved?

Thanks in advance for testing and reporting back.
Comment 3 Yuri Chornoivan 2018-11-16 13:22:08 UTC
Switching status as I cannot reproduce the bug anymore with KmPlot 1.2.2.
